a rescue operation is underway in northern russia after a deadly me thing explosion that left at least ten people dead we bring you the details live. as a militant group launches guerrilla attacks on the previously deliberated city of amid claims by the french military that the operation is almost complete. the congressional report leaves the u.s. a missile shield in europe defense claims the system may fail to protect america and its nato allies could be aimed at russia. and the u.k. claim that the failing economy and cutbacks are increasingly driving britain's suicide .

twenty four hours a day you're watching t.v. . well breaking news this hour ten miners have been killed after me thin explosion in russia's northern cali republic let's get more now from. a with the smell of in the studio what more can you tell us arena well at this point we know that there have been two hundred fifty nine people inside the mine at the moment of explosion the minister emergencies is saying that they have taken out two hundred forty two people have led them out to the surface safely there was a question of seventeen people missing ten of those have been confirmed dead at this point seven are still missing but the minister of emergency says that there is a high chance that they will be recovered safe and sound and alive so we're still waiting of course for the numbers to change as usual in these circumstances. prime minister medvedev has already said financial aid should be allocated to the families of those who were killed in amount of two million rubles that's roughly

sixty six thousand dollars we can also say that so far this year this has been the largest in terms of human life lost the biggest biggest explosion of this year actually the biggest explosion for over the past year as a matter of fact of course we're still waiting for the numbers to change again as i said but hoping that they're not going to get any higher. at this point so far we've just we haven't even gotten any pictures everywhere hoping to get those soon and do we have any idea what caused this loss to the investigators know at this stage of course it's a good question at this point again we're having somewhat conflicting reports reports coming from the minister emergencies who are at this point saying that there have been no increase of methane and carbon dioxide levels documenting documented at this mine which would be one of the primary reasons what we do know that a criminal case has been launched into the breach of safety regulations at the mine

which is. somewhat surprising possibly to the owners of the mine because just recently it has won several awards when it came to the. two the labor conditions meaning that as far as safety instructions following and the conditions overall for workers at the mine were actually up to par so of course we're waiting to hear more from the investigators as of now ok thanks so much for the update thank you. well one is the mr rebel group is claiming responsibility for ongoing violence in mali's northern city of god help us off the gunman in those to surprise guerrilla attacks over the weekend the city was rocked by two suicide bombings of affronts maintains the military campaign in mahdi to force out is an almost complete will correspondents comes other ones are reports for r.t. . the situation in mali is obviously going to have a gruesome ending there are more than enough indications of that last friday the

country was shaken by the very first terrorist attack in its history according to the witness report of what was carried out by a fifteen year old suicide bomber and that of arab descent the bomber was the only one killed after the detonation a few hours later responsibility for the attack was claimed by the emotion watch this one thing to remember here is that this is a vast desert territory and therefore it is very difficult to control this attack is just another example confirming that despite the news reports of the french army having taken over gal timbuktu into doubt there is still a long way to go before jihadists are ousted from the country in severe artie's crew was given access to the civil defense camps and were volunteers and civilians are preparing to fight against the jihadists the f.l. and they are and on the core a local pro-government militia movements that account for a total of two thousand eight hundred operatives but do not support the strategy chosen by the french in mali and joining forces in fighting the terrorists

completely share the same goals so what they did was a really bad service to us all there was not really about the army itself al-qaeda had been operating on mali and territory for a number of years now they have all those and they keep getting more by kidnapping white people for ransom insurance pays them to have that citizens returned and then the terrorists have cash to buy weapons and if you talk about al qaeda there's no way the army can fight it because she it's terrorism in action going to find out is that those paramilitary who know the terrain well say fighting a war they cannot take part in is meaningless one thing all these paramilitary groups have in common is their patriotism and zeal to protect their country and drive away the narco terrorists but this is a losing fight given the financial resources and ammunition stock they have just put out. i'm ready to go it's all lengths i'm raised to give my life right now to save my family up there in the north because we're all here have families i believe

france will still need to tax for a while or in the french troops leave they will start all over again because the criminals are still out there hiding them on the civilians not all of them have been caught really need to be given the mandate to complete this mission our own we're ready for it although we can do it because we grew up in the north we know the terrain and the people so we're the only ones who can stop them but find them in the villages and the desert where we know every corner and every part of land. overall well that you had this forces are taking over their land kidnapping people and using suicide bomb. the civilian population remains the country's most vulnerable at root. he's going to check and spoke to russia's ambassador to the u.n. vitaly churkin about the possible reasons for the ongoing conflict the full interview is on air at eighteen forty five g.m.t. or you can watch it on our website dot com well here's a quick preview for you. repercussion of spring was the dramatic events in

libya. we're in the course of the crisis of course lots of weapons were brought into libya and there was a lot of there were lots of weapons of as it is but still many more weapons were brought into libya during the recent hearings which then secretary of state clinton had in the house of representatives one of the congressman said that they had information that cut out with a wink and nod as he put it from the united states brought in twenty thousand tons of weapons into libya and you know twenty thousand tons you can arm a small terrorist army and so on of course this is exactly what has happened in mali definitely we see a spillover from the libyan crisis to to a neighboring country and most likely if the spillover has affected other places as well for instance it may well be there are many indications to that effect that the terrorist attack in the in the in the jury had something to do i mean close to the

libyan border also had some sort of libyan connection in terms of people maybe weapons terrorists emanating from libya participating in that attack. u.s. missile defense shield in europe is under further scrutiny after a leaked congressional report revealed the system may be unfit for purpose the study claims the shield may not be able to protect america its nato allies from a potential iranian missile strike the report also acknowledges moscow's concerns for the us system undermines russia's new code to terence their hour over the missile shield has strained relations between the two countries as washington refuses to give moscow either a binding guarantees the system is not aimed against russia president obama had promised to be more flexible on the subject after his reelection but some observers doubt the u.s.

will give up its geopolitical ambitions. i don't think it was ever intended to protect against iranian missiles something in fact that do not even exist iran has no nuclear weapons nor do they have the ability to launch a missile all the way to the united states clearly this missile defense system has always been about surrounding russia and china and that's why it doesn't the math doesn't work we look at having protect against an iranian system fact as nato is expanding in its encircled the russia i think we're only going to see more of these so called again missile defense deployments into various nato countries looking at how this all of our runs our country today how the corporations control our congress i think it's clear that congress will continue to support these systems the new secretary of defense that obama has nominated chuck hagel former republican

senator from nebraska was one of the co-sponsors in the senate of the missile defense program so he clearly is a strong ally of the system. a suicide rates are up in the u.k. but experts blame a combination of reasons including the country's flailing economy the issue is prompting calls for greater government action on season three farmer reports for the last year and a half has been coming to terms with the tragic death of a son aged just twenty three toby took his own life riding his spinal words on the back of a bank statement after racking up a three thousand pound overdraft and a five thousand pounds student debt it was just the shock it wasn't from one that had a history of depression or mental illness or even had come across as being down or depressed to. you know in the last few weeks months of his life if anything he came

across as someone that you know didn't have a care in the world following his death and became a trustee for the charity piracies which aims to prevent suicide among young people from a home in cornwall she even runs her own blog giving advice but it's a battle her charity and similar ones around the u.k. are struggling to when suicide is on the increase according to latest figures accounting for six thousand deaths between twenty ten and twenty eleven a rise of seven percent so why the increase will an inquest ruled that toby's financial problems working for britain factor to his suicide experts now say that an ailing u.k. economy is partly to blame for the recent surge in deaths nationwide areas of high unemployment such as camden here in london are among those worst affected and it's a problem compounded by cutbacks in mental health services the double whammy effect

of the recession is that the people are becoming more distressed more anxious and therefore more at risk of wanting to take their own lives at the same time whether sterrett and cuts means that we have fewer psychiatric beds that the crisis isn't there and if that isn't enough the growth of same day loan companies and intimidating debt collectors are adding to the pressures people are feeling according to researchers at brighton university we have some very very good regulations that protect people look at things plastic debt collection however it appears that the tickly well it's because these practices us do it in response the u.k. government has announced plans to crack down on aggressive bailiff's from next year late night visits will not be allowed and restrictions will be put on what property can be seized they are also spending over a million pounds on research as part of a suicide strategy plan. but that is only one very small step in the right
